Runners, Bikers, Walkers…
Team Biotene Takes the LA Marathon in Stride!

With over 20,629 entrants, 1500 volunteers and a 26.2 mile course to conquer, members of Team Biotene walked, biked and ran their way toward the finish line of LA’s 22nd Marathon! The dedicated employees of Laclede, the makers of Biotene and Oral Balance Dry Mouth products endured months of rigorous training to help raise money and increase awareness for over 50 local and national charitable organizations.  And, during the 3-day event which began Friday, March 2 with a health expo through marathon day, Sunday, March 4th, Team Biotene distributed over 75,000 Biotene sample packs to thousands of participants through goodie bags and en route give-aways! Team Biotene member, Dale Lauterback, “It’s great to be with thousands of other people all trying to make it to the finish while supporting their charities. And, it was a blast biking through the streets of LA seeing people chewing packs of Biotene Gum!” The LA Marathon has raised more than $17million dollars to date and will certainly continue to be supported by all members of the Biotene and Oral Balance family!
